Buffet Discounts?



Recommended Posts

I have avoided the buffets for this reason. Luckily for me, I don't tend to go out socially to restaurants but had to a couple weeks ago. It was a sushi buffet, I know sushi isn't bad for you, but its a little more high cal then I want, and I wasn't going to pay full price to eat a few pieces. the person I was with does not know I had wls, so couldn't ask for a discount.

I ordered off the menu instead and just got miso Soup with tofu. I also felt very watched as the person I was with ordered a lot of sushi, they must of thought they were ordering to smuggle me some.

Overall I try not to eat as much as possible and if I do go to a place where they won't accommodate I will just sit while everyone eats and have a Protein drink after.

I just don't want to broadcast my surgery to everyone and their mother. I live in a pretty big city - 1 million people - and still, it seems that every week I come across someone who is friends with someone in my social circle. For example, I just recently found out that the 2 guys who own the gym I go to know my fiance's coworker/good friend. I don't want a server at some restaurant who's friends with someone I know to be like, "Oh hey, I saw this chick who had weightloss surgery at our restaurant!" and then the person finds out it's me.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
